Chapter 1130: A Hurricane Strikes

In the function room of the Hilton Hawaii Hotel, the "Bee Night" party is being held in Si.

There are long tables lined up, but there are no delicacies, wine and fruit plates on them, but there are many TVs like shopping malls.

The TVs are all turned on and the LCD screens are glittering, transporting the viewer to the streets of Rome in the 50s.

Seeing the familiar image of Princess Anne, the audience exclaimed.

is playing the classic film "Roman Holiday".

Unlike the familiar version, the sky is bright and blue, the city flowers are red and green, and the people here are dressed in colorful dresses.

"Are they crazy about coloring 'Roman Holiday'?"

The color picture has aroused countless curiosity and attention, and many people can't help but get closer and want to take a closer look.

At the end of the 20th century, with the gradual maturity of computer coloring technology, many classic old films were "colored" and reissued in color versions. In this wave, Ned Turner, the founder of N, can be called the starting and promoter, he took advantage of MGM's dismal business to change hands many times, bought the rights of many old movies, and let people restore them to color and broadcast them on his TNT Turner classic movie channel.

Seeing that "Blue Bridge", "Casablanca", "The Wizard of Oz", and "Spy of North Africa" all have colors, Paramount Pictures also plans to release a color restoration version of "Roman Holiday". However, the studio's attempts were met with fierce opposition from fans and critics, who insisted that color stifles imagination and art, that black and white are classics, and that MGM classics were all the more "scourge" of Turner, and that they must protect the remaining classics from being desecrated.

Paramount felt that Yali Mountain was big, so he resolutely abandoned the original plan, and the subsequent "Roman Holiday 50th Anniversary Restoration Edition" only adjusted the picture quality, still maintaining the classic black and white picture.

The "Rome" coloring project ended without a hitch, leaving only a few restored stills in color to witness this historical anecdote.

It's just obvious that there are always people who don't believe in evil in this world, and the challenger this time is the Bee Research Institute.

Although at least half of the guests present did not know the saying "no three, two, three, dare not go to Liangshan", none of them were stupid, and naturally understood that the other party came completely prepared.

I didn't let everyone wait too long, and soon someone discovered the anomaly.

Although the plot on the screen is completely synchronized, the picture in front of everyone is not exactly the same, yours is blue, her is purple.

And even on the same screen, the color and tone on it are not fixed, and before you know it, the blue dress on Anne's body has become a cute pink ......

The guests were all experts in the CVPR, and they could guess the reason in a flash, and the TV clearly sensed their likes and dislikes, and then immediately changed the color and tone of the picture.

Eyes lifted, and someone looked at the camera above the TV. Pulling out a tissue to cover the shot, the tone of the picture immediately stabilized, and it just played on its own.

The suspicion in his mind was proven, and a smile appeared on the man's face, and then he became solemn again.

No matter who you are, you won't be surprised to be shown off in your field. Of course, in addition to being unhappy, they are more interested in how to do it, it is not difficult to make a color film alone, it is difficult to achieve one person and one color, change color at will, and the picture in front of them is likely to be the result of real-time calculation.

Naturally, the bee scientists present were quickly surrounded and questioned about various technical details.

Seeing this scene from afar, the bald Atletico secretly breathed a sigh of relief, raised his hand to his wife on the screen and said, "Fortunately, I hid quickly, otherwise I would have been surrounded by them and scolded." ”

"Huh!" Tang Jiayi's voice quickly came from the mobile phone, "Don't change the subject! Didn't you say that the hurricane wouldn't pass through Hawaii? Why did Hillary still pass? What about the promised once in 2500 years?"

Last night, Hurricane Hillary 9 suddenly increased in intensity and changed its path, heading for Oahu.

Three years ago, Hurricane Iselle made landfall on the island of Hawaiʻi and caused a lot of damage. Fortunately, the island covers an area of 10,000 square kilometers and is blocked by the 4,200-meter-high Mauna Loa volcano, so there were no casualties among the more than 100,000 residents on the island.

This time, however, the situation is different, as the latest hurricane forecast path has passed through the populous island of Oahu, and the city of Honolulu and the state of Hawaii are on edge.

As the government rushed into supermarkets to buy bottled water, food, batteries, and daily necessities such as fuel and gas. Atletico Madrid hid in a four-star hotel to eat, drink and hold a party, but Tang Jiayi, who was thousands of miles away, was in a hurry, and called over whenever they had time to care about the current situation.

"No way," Atletico shrugged his shoulders and turned his head to look out of the stormy window, "No way, the history of the earth is too long, the human calendar is too short, just listen to it once in many years, don't take it too seriously." ”

His gaze swept aimlessly across the turbid sand beach, his eyes suddenly froze, he raised his mobile phone to point it somewhere below, and said with a smile: "Look at it! Someone ran to the edge of the beach! Ah! She was really blown away! She seemed to be injured, I asked people to go down and take a look, hang up first!"

Let's move our gaze to the beach below and rewind the clock to 5 minutes ago.

As the hurricane hits, the wind and waves get stronger and stronger, and the once bustling and lively Waikiki Beach is empty, and the wind and waves and the torrential rain are raging wildly, destroying the parasols and beach chairs left outside.

Even when the weather was so bad, the journalists pushed forward.

Whether it is for the ratings or the professional ethics they insist on, they need to brave the wind and rain to go deep into the front line and find out first-hand information.

The wheels squeezed through the water that reflected the street lamps, and the van with "Haaii Nestar TV" printed on the side slowly approached the beach and slowly stopped on the side of the road.

In the crew compartment, Christina Bella stared at a fluttering leaf. It was a fairly intact palm leaf, not weighing too little, and it was swept by the wind and fluttered and bent in the air, until the leaves flew away and the remaining petioles fell hard.

In order to show the power of the strong winds, whenever a hurricane/typhoon hits, there is always a drama of "the wind blowing the reporter" on TV. Hawaii rarely has hurricanes, and she can sit in an air-conditioned room and laugh at her peers rolling in the wind, but ......

Retracting her gaze, the female reporter turned her head to look at the driver and camera who was moving towards her, and asked Ken, "Andy, can you help me?"

"No problem," the latter agreed, and then knocked her into the abyss, "but do you know how to operate the camera?

The female reporter suddenly had a sad face, and she didn't know what to say for a while.

She often uses the selfie function of her smartphone, but she has never touched a professional camera, and she is afraid that she will have to explore for a long time to shoot when she turns it on.

Of course, this problem is not without a solution, ask the photographer to adjust the parameters and angles by himself and teach himself to press the REC recording button, and then he gets out of the car and walks into the camera to make a cameo host, and he can easily solve it by pressing the button twice.

These are nothing, and the second half of his sentence is fatal. If he really does this and is known by the boss, he is likely to take advantage of the situation to fire himself, anyway, Andy has already served as a driver, cameraman, and editor, and it seems that there is nothing wrong with letting him also work as a location host.

Thinking of her home loan, car loan, and consumer loan, Miss Bella can only accept reality. Secretly cursing the Chinese boss who slammed the door, she silently prayed to God, hoping that her efforts would be rewarded, and it would be best to become famous in one fell swoop, and become famous in the United States, and since then she has jumped out of this island to the pinnacle of life.

After finishing cheering up, or self-anesthesia, the female reporter pulled the zipper of the jacket on her body, pulled the hood, reached out and put the microphone and anemometer with the Baixing station logo on the side, turned her head and said to the cameraman: "Okay, I'm ready." ”

"OK!" Andy held a thumbs up at her, "Come on, Barbie, you're going to be famous!"

Barbie (Bobby) is Christina's nickname because she has beautiful long blonde hair, and because she has a slender figure that is very different from ordinary American girls, much like the Barbie dolls that girls love to play with when they are children.

With such a figure, if she hosted a children's program and went to be a kindergarten teacher, she should have a lot of affinity bonus, but she became a news anchor. Because of her average eloquence and appearance that did not meet the aesthetics of adult audiences, Miss Bella's career development was very difficult, and she finally had to join the Hawaii Nova TV founded by the Chinese boss, and was forced to take on many functions such as anchor, reporter, and makeup artist.

Television stations in North America are slightly more regulated, and all citizens can fund the creation of television stations and then lease the channels of television networks to broadcast their own programs. Large TV stations have mastered the channels, have more and better content in their hands, and can easily take away most of the profits, while small TV stations can only find ways to open up sources and reduce expenditures in order to survive, and it is normal to wear multiple positions.

The doors opened, and a strong wind immediately poured into the car, bringing a greeting from Ms. "Hillary".

The female reporter's golden hair and blue jacket were instantly wet by the moisture in the wind, but she didn't care about this, gritted her teeth and stretched out her legs to get out of the car.

The wind outside was naturally stronger, and Miss Bella was blown as soon as she got out of the car. If she hadn't held the car with both hands, she would have turned into a rolling gourd at this moment.

Christina had always prided herself on weighing less than 90 pounds (about 40 kilograms), but now she only hated herself for why she wasn't fatter. Letting go of her right hand with difficulty, she picked up the anemometer that was placed on the floor of the carriage and poked out of the car.

The wind howled, and her right arm swayed in the wind, and soon became sore, but she could only count aloud to divert her attention. When she finally counted to 60, she didn't care if it wasn't 60 seconds, and immediately withdrew her right hand to look at the anemometer screen.

"Oh my God, the wind speed is 144 miles, it's a Category 4 hurricane!"

"Pick it up, Chris," Andy reminded from behind the camera.

"Oh," the female reporter said, waking up from a dream, holding up an anemometer showing 144 mph (miles per hour, equivalent to 232 kilometers per hour) in front of the camera.

Confirming that the above numbers were photographed, Andy shouted: "The hurricane has not landed yet, this wind force should not be the maximum wind force, wait and test again." ”

"Oh, okay," Christina put down her anemometer and picked up the microphone and struggled out of the car.

Andy turned the camera steadily, following closely in the footsteps of his female colleague.

After moving to the beach with difficulty, the female reporter couldn't wait to open her mouth, and shouted at a rapid speed that she had memorized the host speech that she had memorized for a long time: "Hello everyone! This is hns TV, and I am ......"

Before she could finish speaking, she was blown away by the wind.

"The reporter was blown away by the wind" was originally a booked drama, even if the wind was not strong, she had to cooperate with the feeling of the performance.

Seeing her suddenly blown away by the wind, Andy was slightly surprised in his heart, but his hands calmly moved the camera, and put the female colleague who was staggering away unsteadily into the camera. The latter's messy wind did not last long, and soon he fell down in embarrassment and could not get up from his stomach.

Andy was still praising his colleague's unpretentious and extremely dedicated acting skills, but when he looked up, he saw that Miss Barbie was still lying motionless on the sand. Realizing that something was wrong, he suddenly became nervous and hurriedly dropped the machine and ran out of the car.

Because of the wind and wet sand, Andy slipped and almost fell after running a few steps. Fortunately, his weight and shoes were more powerful, and he finally moved to the female colleague and asked with concern, "What's wrong with you?"

Christina raised her little face, which was covered with water and rain marks and fine grains of sand, and the corners of her forehead, eyes and nose were visibly red, apparently sobbing silently.

Seeing Andy, Miss Bella's sadness suddenly poured out: "Woo woo, my hands and feet are broken!"

Looking down and finding that the girl's right hand and right foot were in a strange position, Andy whispered, "I'm sorry, I'll help you take a look." ”

Reaching out and touching it, he was relieved, smiled and comforted: "It's okay, your hands and feet are not broken, just dislocated and bruised, I will take you to the hospital now, and I will be able to get it right soon." ”

The wind was too strong, and the princess couldn't use this handsome posture of increasing the windward area and the height of the center of gravity, Andy reached out to help the girl, and the two reached out to support the ground and crawled on all fours, and finally returned to the interview car.

Helped her into the car, but Andy didn't rush to start the car.

The work is not finished yet, and now he will be scolded when he leaves the boss, and he will feel sorry for himself.

Lifting the anemometer out the window, he soon noticed that the real-time wind speed had increased to 149mph, which could break the limit of 155 at any time and upgrade to a Category 5 hurricane (the top of the list). Realizing that this was big news, he hurriedly moved out of the car, picked up the microphone that was lucky not to be broken, and reported the bad news to the camera.

Turning off the phone and calling it a day, Andy transferred the video data to his laptop, intending to send it back to the TV station via the 4G network.

Regular TV stations will send news trucks with microwave relay equipment when this happens, but Xinxing is only a small private TV station for local audiences, and it has no money to buy such expensive equipment, so it can only transmit data over the public network.

It may be that the wind has destroyed the antenna of the base station, and today's network speed is as slow as a snail, and he waited for a long time and did not wait for the pop-up prompt of "done", but waited for the hotel security, "Are you okay?

In the event of such a ghostly weather, the security guards naturally did not plan to come out and suffer. However, the VIPs upstairs were overflowing with love, and they could only put on raincoats and take their canes, and come over to see what was going on.
